Elena Metelkina (Ekaterinburg, Russia)I am a 47 year-old white American male living in Northern Virginia outside of Washinton, D.C.I received a message from a woman (alias Elena Metelkina) on matchmaker.com (SEXYGIRL948) and started corresponding with her on at the beginning of September. She gave me her email and expressed her desire to meet a man and get married. She claimed her parents would give her $500 to help pay for the air fare and visa so she could fly to Virginia to stay with me for 6 months. We corresponded for about a week and I even talked with her on the phone one time (so I thought it was her). The number I called her on was supposedly a friends number (7 3434 825748). She gave me the phone number of a man, Andrey Timchenko, who she claimed was a Manager at Maria-Travel Agency, 67 Lenina Street, in Katerinburg, Russia. I contacted this man (7 3434 877882) and he told me he could make reservations for Elena to fly to meet me on the 21st of September. Unfortunately, I sent this man 3 payments of $400, $440, and $420 I sent cash via Western Union to Andrey Timchenko (Im sure he was running this scam with Elena. He probably was pretending to be her in the emails I received from her, while having a female friend pretend to be Elena when I called her.) I sent $400 on September 8th, $440 on September 9th, and $420 on September 10th. I have contacted the International Fraud Complaint Center (division in the FBI) about this incident, and will contact American Embassy in Moscow/Ekaterinburg and the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
